Steve McKee said… - Thanks very much!
I think we've met, at the PCTELA state convention in Lancaster last year.
If you're coming to Phillie: I'll be at the PCTELA booth, signing books and just hanging out. I'm hard to miss (he said modestly): I'm 6'8" tall and on Saturday I'll be in my YCHS green & gold sweat-shirt and -pants. Be true to your school!
And I want my presentation to be a lot of fun in spite of (or maybe because of) the title of the book and the subject matter. This is the story of a 16-year-old kid whose father died of a heart attack. But I really do think it is about much much more than that, and that current high school students would get a lot out of it.
So in the meantime, between now and Philly, please feel free to send the "Green & Gold" video and news about it to any and all who you think might like to know about it.
Thanks again!
